Carry On

— Firm as the mountains around us,Stalwart and brave we standOn the rock our fathers plantedFor us in this goodly land—The rock of honor and virtue,Of faith in the living God.They raised his banner triumphant—Over the desert sod.

We’ll build on the rock they plantedA palace to the King.Into its shining corridorsOur songs of praise we’ll bring,For the heritage they left us,Not of gold or of worldly wealth,But a blessing everlastingOf love and joy and health.
